ANAMIKA EXCITED FOR HER DAUGHTER'S ADMISSION

That morning Anamika was highly excited. She was all at her heels to finish the household chores and reach the destination in time. Actually, Anamika had to take her daughter Anavi for admission to one of the best schools of Patna, and she didn't want to miss this chance. Anavi was just nine years old, but she was a gifted child, very intelligent and smart like her mom. Anamika wanted to see her dreams into her. She wanted her to achieve a better life than her. Her husband, Anuj was a Class I officer in Central Government. He was a dry honest guy, and would never believe in backdoor-incomes. Actually, he believed that bribes bring home not only some money, but also misfortunes with them. Bribes destroy the essence of values. It has an ill effect on the children in particular. He wanted to inculcate this sense into his daughter as well. Despite all,  he tried his best to keep his family happy. 

ANAMIKA'S EARLY DAYS

Anamika was born to a middle class family. Her father was a senior account in the Secretariat. Although his salary was not so good, he kept his family happy and saturated with his extra income or black money. Anamika was the youngest of the three siblings, two sisters and one brother. She was very beautiful. In her college days,  she had won the Title of MISS PHOTOGENIC, and afterwards, she won the Beauty Pageant of MISS PATNA, just at the age of 21. She was a Beauty Queen, a celebrity now, and so she had a lot of offers of Modeling and all that. Thus, she joined Modeling, and in course of time, Modeling became her passion. Her father loved her a lot. Her father called her a Born Celebrity,  a Celebrity by birth. He was proud of her. He never let her feel down in any respect. He would be pampering her all the while. But, her mother didn't like it all. She said that they were a middle class family and the middle class children should not be pampered that way to live an unusual dream. She wanted her to live a normal life of a middle class girl, away from limelight. But, her father would always encourage her to do her heart. It gave him unbounded joy if people came to talk about his daughter. 

THE MISFORTUNE

Life was really glossy and rosy for Anamika. But, suddenly the misfortune took place. Her father died of heart attack. The family was totally broken. Anamika was also left shocked and grieved. Now, her mother had no courage to send her for Modeling. In the meanwhile,  one more tragedy took place. Her father's name came into a scam. And then,  everything became worse for her. The angry public damaged her posters. All the Modeling contracts were taken away from her. She became miserable. Her mother also did not support her now. And so, Anamika had to leave the world of celebrity. She confined herself to her house only and would never go out. 

ANAMIKA'S RUN AWAY FROM HOME

It was the day of her marriage. Her mother had fixed her marriage with an ordinary guy. Anamika was against this marriage, and so she ran away in the bride's dress itself. Anuj was her old friend. Anamika went to Anuj and proposed him for marriage. First,  Anuj was surprised to see her in the bride's attire, but when Anamika told him the whole story and her resolution, not to go back home,  he agreed and married her. Anuj was posted in Dehradun. He took her there and now, they were living a happy life. Anamika had become a complete house wife. And then, their daughter, Anavi was born, so beautiful like her. Life was going ga-ga. Anavi was now nine years old, and Anamika wanted to admit her to a good school for a bright future. She wanted her to live her dreams. Her daughter was also very intelligent. In the Admission Test, she left everybody awestruck. She secured her position superseding everyone else. Anamika got a lot of praises for her daughter there. She was very happy that day. The family even celebrated the day. 

ANUJ , A DRY HONEST PERSON

Anuj Sahay was a dry honest person. He never took any bribes. And so, nobody in the office liked him due to his honesty. They made a plan against him and involved his name in a fraud bribe demanding case. Anuj refuted it, but nobody heard him. He was  transferred to Delhi. Anamika didn't want to go there, but at last, they had to go. Anuj joined his office there in Delhi. Things were going on well. Anavi was also admitted to a good school. Anamika was trying to mix up with the ladies of the society. Some of the ladies were jealous of her beauty. They would make unwanted comments upon her. But, it didn't affect her much. 

ANAMIKA'S ENCOUNTER WITH VISHAL KAPOOR

But, suddenly one day, she had an encounter with a big business man. Actually, Anamika was driving her car to where and in the heavy traffic, she knocked the expensive BMW car of that business man. His driver got down the car and started to shout at her. The business man also came down. But, when he saw her, he was so struck with her beauty that in place of saying anything to Anamika, he scolded his driver only. Anamika thanked him a lot for his goodness and generosity. But, the tussle was not over there. Now, the business man liked her so much that he wanted to achieve her. He started to follow her. Now,  they had several encounters. He collected all the data about her. The information came to him that she had been MISS PATNA 2015, and also had been an unparalleled model. She had done several ads for different companies. 

THE MODELING CONTRACT

Now, the business tycoon,  Vishal Kapoor was so fascinated with her beauty that he would do anything to achieve her. Once he came to know that she wanted to purchase a bungalow, he instrumented to sell the bungalow to her at a cheaper rate. He adopted several ways to influence her husband, but Anuj, being a super honest person, never came into his influence. He even tried to give a handsome amount of money to him as bribe for a favour, Anuj refused it straightforwardly. Seeing all the attempts foiled  to influence the couple,  Vishal Kapoor hired Sanjana Singh, a beauty mentor. Sanjana had guided Anamika in her Beauty Pageant days. Sanjana met Anamika with an offer for Modeling. Although Anamika was very happy to see her, she refused to sign the Modeling Contract. But, Anuj got her ready for that because he knew that Modeling was her passion. Now, Anuj wanted her to live her life. So, Anamika signed the Contract. 

Anamika went to Sanjana's office. It was a shoot for a happy family shoot for a beauty company. The shoot was excellent and Anamika got a lot of appreciations for that. Along with that, she got a cheque of Rs. One lakh and fifty thousand also. It was a huge amount for just a two hours shoot. Yet, Anamika was very happy and she didn't bother to think about it. She back home with the cheque and showed it to Anuj. Anuj saw that the cheque had the signature of Vishal Kapoor. He understood the whole matter and convinced Anamika that Sanjana was playing a fraud with her. First, Anamika was not ready to accept it, but when Anuj took her to Sanjana's office, they found Vishal sitting there. And now, the matter was clear that Sanjana was working for Vishal Kapoor. Anuj understood his motives and asked him to keep away from his family. He asked Anamika also to keep alert of such people. At last,  Anuj got his transfer from Delhi to Bangalore. Now, they are living happily in Bangalore. Though she is a housewife, she is a Celebrity for her husband and an ideal for her daughter.
